Twenty-five years ago, David Baxter was a paramedic in Canada, who was torn over whether or not abortion should be legal. He leaned towards the pro-abortion side, but his wife was more pro-life.

“I was a fence-sitter,” he explained, “and my wife and I discussed it, and it was a topic of argument for many years. Sometimes I would say, yes [abortion is okay], and sometimes no [abortion is not right].”

One day, while Baxter was working with the ambulance service he owned, they received a call that would change his heart forever. They arrived at the scene to find a girl about 14 years old in severe abdominal pain. They drove her to the hospital.
